Nylander is four years younger than Guentzel. Guentzel is going to get paid but not like that
- Victoro311


Yeah.. I said he'd probably get less. Also, Nylander turns 28 in two months... Jake turns 30 in 7 months. So, they're about a year and half apart... Then there's the whole Jake being one of the best playoff goal scorers of all time thing. We'll see how this run with the Canes goes..

If that’s what he gets I’m actually glad he’s gone. That would just ruin the team. How many less goals does Bunting score on a full season beside Sid? 10?
- Grinder47

Bunting isn’t sniffing 30 goals. Quit being a clown.

I had the thought you may have haha... It's weird too because it just seems Will is the younger one in my mind for some reason(s) hahah

Eh. Half jokingly. He’s kind of a giant Puss and his best years are behind him.
- Grinder47

He's approaching 30 so probably true. Also true this team can't score goals and he was their second best goal scorer. We'll see if that turns around now that he's gone.

If I were Jake I’d be asking my agent to talk to Florida.

Jake's got some immense pressure for this playoff run. If he lights it up and helps lead the Canes to a deep run he might be close to a $10M player. If he falls flat, he might look like a Crosby byproduct and end up in the $7-8M range. Big deal over a 7 year contract.

I thought I saw somewhere the other day that Jake has like 39 points in 40 games without Sid... Perhaps I dreamt it

There's a lot of copium about Jake being a product of Sid. It's like you and many others have said, they help each other. It's not like Sid is still the top offensive center in the game anymore.

Fortunately for them, Pens can't recall replacements anyways. Not that they are doing much either, rarely notice the third line.
- Tojo.


Puustinen isn't scoring on Malkin's line. He's had his opportunity, for now anyway. I say it's time to see someone else in that role.

Malkin isn't scoring either, for that matter.

Having jagr associated with the pens at any capacity this year trumps any issues I have/had with them. It’s great.

Hopefully Sully has the balls to let Jarry in for an 8 spot today. Dude needs to learn how to be a true number 1

Saw Bergeron at the rink this morning, his kid was playing a mite game on the other half ice from us. Marchand is there frequently too. Our kids are always more fired up when they know those guys are in the building. We won today 9-4. Maybe I should get a parent to dress up like Pasta for our playoffs.

I hope Smith is on his line and gets a few to boost that trade value in the offseason

Going to be interesting to see how low they go. I don't think the players will tank to get rid of Mike Sullivan, but if they did, this is how it would look. Petts and Letang openly passing to the other team lol.

I also can't watch this one, but watched the replay of the goal on nhl.com and, wow, Letang doing what I constantly drill my mites not to do.
